There are few who endure bodily troubles
without complaint. Did you ever meet
among the heroes or heroines of your ac-
quaintance-if any such there have been
-one with a yellowish cast of countenance
and that %jaundiced aspect generally, which
the most Impractical eye recognizes as the
product of a disordered liver, who did not
complain, and peevishly too, of the sore
ness of the recalcitrant organ, of pains
beneath the right shoulder blade, of dys-
peptic symptoms, constipation and. head
ache Of course you never did, and of
course the individual was not using Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, or he would not
so have looked-so have complained. To
purify the blood when contaminated with
bile, and conduct the secretion into its
proper channel, to re-establish regularity
of the bowels, Danish bilious headache
and remove impediments to complete d.
gestion, nothing can approach in efficacy
this peerless alternative and tonic. Malarial
complaints, always involving the liver and
kidney and bladder inactivity, are rem
edied by it. 1t is a capital appetizer.

There are two trees in the grounds at

"Can it be done2'' she asked of the land

referred to the transplanting.
The landscape gardener was astonished.
"Pray, madam" said he, hesitatingly,
'have you considered the enormous ex-
pense of carrying out such a whim2 1t
would cost at least''-
His questioner broke in impatiently:

One of Herrmann's Tricks.

He then borrowed a hat, took a rabbit
from under his coat as he walked away
and put it into the hat. Then he took the
rabbit out of the hat by the ears. While
the spectators were examining that rab-
bit he held the hat close to his breast with
his right hand and put into it another rab-
bit with his left. Then hi placed both
b on the table, one hiding the other
from the spectators, dropped the latter
rabbit through a trap, rubbed The remain
ing one, and said he had rolled two rab-
bits into one. A confederate in the audi
ence had a third rabbit concealed in his
inside coat pocket. Hermann came down,
struggled with the man, and pulled the
rabbit out of his pocket. Hermann re-
turned to the stage, tossed the rabbit in
in the air, placed it On n shelf behind the
table when it came down, made a tossing
movement again very quickly, fired a pis-
tol with his left hand, and looked up as
though he had thrown the rabbit into the
lilies. Then the curtain came down for an
intermission; and it had all been easy
enough to see through if you knew how.-

A small, well made engine, with all
parts adjusted, will do more work han n
larger one with parts loosely constructed
and a great disproportion between the i'm
portant members. So a small man, COM
pactly built, with symmetrical proper
lions and a well alanced organism, can
accomplish more than n larger man less
solidly made, with all parts wanting in
symmetry and shapeliness. This law of
adaptation and harmonious adjustment of
parts prevails throughout the greater por-
ton of the animal kingdom.
Among the civilized portion of the
human race it is ~controverted by social
laws that tend to foster inharmonious de-
velopment. The division of labor, for in
stance, has made it possible for n man to
earn a livelihood and to maintain a foot
hold in the world by the use of very few
muscles and faculties. Professor d. A.

Mr.. James Russell Lowell was the
most conspicuous of Mrs. Phelps callers.
He came in about 5 o'clock with his most
impressive manner. Mr.. Lowell is looking
quite old, and, although he tries to con-
vey the impression that he is walking in
a jaunty, easy manner, it is plain to be
seen that he does not move without an
effort. After shaking hands with Mrs.
Phelps he went AROUND the room looking
for old friends, of whom he found many.
He shakes hands in the latest English
fashion, the fashion which was intro
duced in Washington last winter by Mrs.
Helyar, the wife of one of the under
secretaries of the British legation.
This style of hand shaking, l have no
doubt, is very amusing to the one who
employs it, but it is not an agreeable
sensation to one not prepared for it. The
fingers are tightly grasped by the English
hand shaker, and at the same time he
lifts his elbow on a line with his shout
der. He then suddenly brings your
hand close to his breast with a jerk, and
then drops it so quickly that one not
accustomed to this violence is in danger
of losing his balance when the dead drop
follows the energetic jerk. Mr.. Lowell
has this hand shake to perfection; in
TACT, have never seen an Englishman
who seemed to do the jerk and drop
with such suddenness and dash as does
MIR. Lowell. l noticed, however, that
in shaking hands with the young girls
and pretty women in the room the drop
did moi follow quite SO soon as when
shaking hands with the old dowagers.
He appeared very self-conscious, and
when he entered the room it was
with the air of a man who expected to
create a tremendous sensation. | did
not discover any great commotion, how
ever, over his arrival, although he knew
nearly every n in the room.-London

STREET DOCK, "a hhTDor Wnlcn, II
NEW YORK properly improved,
could accommodate all the shipping of the
world.
Almost in the shadow of Brooklyn bridge
are several striking examples of water front
properties that could be improved and made
magnificent piers. The jackson street dock
is one Of these-a weaving, rickety combina-
ton OF rotten timbers and plank-with tottcr-
ing posts and n thousand patches about it.
1t has long been condemned, but still stands,
though used only by garbage scows, "a
dilapidated wagon stood upon it the other
day. says a New York writer, land the
planks were strewn with moldy rags spread
out to dry. A scow filed with sweltering
garbage lay near the shore, and some men
were busy at work sitting coal elevated from
barges below. A crowd OF gamins, nude as
Adam before the fig leaf interval, were diving
from the shnky framework, most of them
clambering upon the woodwork when the
artist was seen making a sketch, evidently
under the impression that their charms would
add materially to the effect of his picture. In
each direction We're piers evidently in n con
dition little better than that of the one illus
trated. On shore were old carts, piles of scrap
iron, refuse and barrels, well set off In the
background by dilapidated buildings, an ex.
cellent argument for the advocates of city
control of the water front"
Illustrative of these arguments, it is cited
that the New York Central Railroad com,
pany pays n rental of $50, 900 annually for city
piers which cost about Sl5O,0OO. Great saving
can be effected to business people, it is
thought, if the front is filled up TO the bulls,
head line at all the piers. Ashes and cellar
dirt can be disposed Of in that way, and the
rOadways so increased in breadth that truck,
men will not be delayed.
No docks in the world are to be compared
with those Of London, Liverpool, Birken
head and Manchester, England, which cove
hundreds Of acres. Liverpool has twenty
craving docks, some of them $50 feet il
length. These are surrounded with substan
tial stone quays, provided with gates, and ar
under police protection. These, us witt
nearly all other docks in England, are sup
ported by rates levied from tho vessels resort
ing to them, and for levying these rate
powers are taken in the acts of par
lament authorizing the construction o
the respective docks. Sometimes the docl
dues are imposed on vessels according t.
tonnage, and in other instances the rates ar
so much n ton, actually landed on the dock
Generally the dues are complained of us bein,
n heavy burden, though it is said the stool
companies, by whom tho docks are built, sci
dom realize good returns on their investments

so expensive have been these improvements
The total quay space Of Liverpool is nearly
twenty miles, covering an area Of go acres,
containing tifty-four docks and basins. The
Albert dock alone cost El4l 600. The maGnih-
cent structures covering the river front there,
and, as shown by our cut, at Manchester, are
so vastly superior to anything at New York
that 1t would be supposed new world enter

tensive rs those Of Liverpool, are wonderfully

on Foot Looking in This Direction.
New York and English Docks
The officials Of the city Of New York seem
TO be waking up TO the necessity Of doing
something about the city's water front,
though no course Of action has as yet been
adopted. The rapidly increasing value Of
wharf property in Brooklyn and Jersey City
has been one cause for this r~eviving inter-
est. In Brooklyn the valuation has in
creased 10 the amount Of S3O,OOO,OOO within
the past ten years, and in Jersey City and
HOboken the increase has been about Sl0,-
10000 1t is said hfty-four steamer each
month 30 10 Brooklyn for wharf facilities
that they cannot get in New York, and many
of the ocean steamers now land at the Jersey
City side Of North river. The Pennsylvania
railroad company have recently bought n new
ferry privilege at Bergen Point Should
they build a breakwater they could have a
hnrbor for l 900 ships, and New York's water
front would receive another blow. These
things have brought about consideration OF
its water front by the people Of New York.
To make the wharves of New York secure,
useful and fully in keeping with the CONNER
cial prominence Of the city, the only feasible
method seems TO be that the city take control
of the entire front. AT present the city owns
.Snly one-third of this property, and even
that has not been kept in good order. Three
million dollars appropriated for the present
year may be expended in securing private
rights. Thirty million dollars has been named
as the amount necessary to put the front in
prope shape. New Workers argue that when

MIR. Ho1wiII,s 5Oth Birthday.

A most agreeable AMI unique family r5-
union was had at the residence of VIM. f.
HOW'LL, general ticket agent Of the D., L.
& w. K. r., at his residence, No. AT
Franklin avenue, Brooklyn, to congratulate
him upon the anniversary of his 50th birth
day. Some of our most respected friends
of Jersey City were the originators, and
carried it to perfect success, There were
an assembiage of about thirty present,
most notable of whom were Mr.. and Mrs.
j. r. Turner, Mr.. and Mrs. W. II. Turner
and Miss Florence Turner, of Jersey City !;
Mr.. and Mrs. Malta, Dir. and Mrs. Light
hipe of Orange, n. j.; Mr.. and Mrs. Ian
caster of Harlem, n. Y; Mr.. and Mrs. w.
L. HOW'LL, the aged mother of Mr.. Hol-
will, and Miss Annie HOW'LL of Brooklyn.
One of its most curious features IS that
it eyentuated in a triple ovation, for it was
the anniversary of Mr.. J. r. Turner'S we'd
ding day, whose wife is sister of Mr..
HOW'LL 8, and Of Mr.. Holwills wedding
day as well as his birthday
At the assemblage handsome present
was made to Mr.. HOW'LL by Mr.. W. Il.
Turner, with short address appropriate
TO the occasion, and was responded to by
Mr.. HOW'LL. Afterward the company were
called to a sumptuous repast finely dis
played in the dining-room, where the ex-
cellent viands were gently intermitted with
Pontet Count Pine and Mumm's Extra
Dry Thereafter the evening was spent in
music and dance. Miss Florence Turner,
of the Tabernacle choir, rendered several
very pretty solos, which were repeatedly
encored, and TO which she gracefully re-
sponded in her usual dignifsd manner.
